Food Tour Detour!

Recently, my highschool creative writing class headed off on a local food tour! For those of you who are unaware what a food tour is, it's a fun, food sampling exhibition where you can check out the history and scenery of a city. While we had to walk from place to place in gross Virginia weather it didn't seem to ruin my fun time. The stop that stood out to me the most was a little pastry shop by the name of, Proper Pie stood out to me the most.
The minute my class and I hustled into the shop I found myself holding a juicy, drippy, and wonderfully warm lamb pie in my hand. As crumbly and mouth-watering as it was the overwhelming taste of this pie couldn't cover up my embarrassment as overflowing ingredients plopped to the floor. It was tight but cozy and the painted map of the world was interesting to look at as my bites took longer and longer to chew. Meat and other ingredients were hugged in a consistently sturdy crust that collapsed on your tongue. I remember stating many times, to nobody of my class in particular, that I'd have to come back many times. I think I might go next weekend.
